I've spent a little over a year in Jacksonville, and I've become the most active writer/blogger in the area. I am able to write about Jax with a perspective that is both unique and fresh, while I always try to engage the reader. As I told one reader who commented about the writing style, my voice is always what I have going for me. I hope the good people of Jacksonville see me as a guy they'd like to hang out with in a bar rather than the guy they'd like to scam out of his money. And I'd like to see them the same way. Here's a list of ALL of my highlights, some with context for you. If you enjoy anything on McNewsy, you'll also like New Jax Witty.
